Description: | A cast copper alloy button of probable sixteenth century date. The solid circular button has a convex front and a flat back. The rounded integral shank contains an off-centre drilled hole. The front of the button is decorated with a moulded design consisting of a central pellet surrounded by eight curving spokes with rounded ends. A very similar button can be seen in Read's 'Metal Buttons' (2005, p. 33, no. 112). This example is 16th century in date and was found in north-west Dorset.
